This is a great place to come. Whether you want to grab a coffee or something from the cafe or get a book. I use it for research, either on the computer or the archives. The staff are knowledgeable and helpful. You can also simply grab a sandwich and sit outside and enjoy the view.

Great facilities, nice environment, open late - a really nice (and free) place to spend some time. Can find a quiet place to do some work (with cafe coffee) or to have fun pouring through the children's books and enjoy the play sections. Worcestershire team involved should be proud of this library, it's top class.

A decent cup of coffee. The library itself is impressive if architecturally not to everyone's taste.

it is the best place to have peace when my mind is full of chaos, like get any book and lost in transition of imagination of your creative conscious mind, staff is undoubtably significant and people are genuinely friendly, love this place......

Amazing place to study and get some work done. What sets this place apart is how integrated both the university and the public libraries are and how rich and up-to-date the selection of books is. Fantastic upkeep as well.

Very nice place. I love coming in here whenever I visit Worcester. This place has lots of great facilities including a wide variety of rentable books, loads of Windows computers, rentable meeting rooms, communal areas, a council service centre (Worcester Hub) study areas and a business centre. The building is a very sleek and modern building, it has a nice tall atrium, wooden rails and generally nice interior and exterior. Everything here is well lit, very clean, in good condition and well maintained. The lifts here are very reliable, quick and efficient so you won’t have to wait long for a lift and you will get to your floor very quickly. As I said, there is loads of comfy seating about which is great if you want to find a place to relax on a tiring day. The only issue i have to say is the public WiFi doesn’t really work at all and doesn’t provide internet access when connected so you may have to bring a mobile hotspot or an Ethernet cable with you.I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a quiet place to study, host a meeting, looking to rent a book, need access to a computer or are just looking for a nice relaxing place to sit and unwind!

I work from home, so have to get out now and again to have a walk and a change of scene. This is the ideal place to work for an afternoon. Light, airy, interesting, civilised. Lots of desks, so you can usually find somewhere quiet. If you want proper silence, there's a room for that up top. There's free power and WiFi. Super helpful, friendly library and cafe staff (even in the face of some challenging customers). As for the architecture, I wouldn't want every building to look like this, but I'm really glad this one does.

I'm in my element at the Hive surrounded by books and historical references. One of my favourite places to visit and spend an hour or so browsing the shelves. Furnished areas for reading and plenty of tables and surfaces for working. Great that it opens late so there's no excuse not to have a book.

An impressive building that still retains a feeling of relaxed friendliness. A great place to read or study, striking a good balance between books and technology. In the heart of the city and connected to a main shopping centre, it couldn't be better situated.

Great building which is always at the correct temperature. Plenty of space for study including silent spaces. Computers are reliable if a little sluggish and availability can be compromised if it is especially busy. This is probably only the case since it is such a great place to work or play games. Only other downside is the toilets since people do not keep them clean making the staffs job harder and the experience a little less pleasant. That said toilets on multiple floors is a definite positive.
